Mesón Anyfer — Restaurant in Córdoba

Not sure where I’d come across this place online, but I had it marked as a place to visit and I’m very glad I did. I was one of 2 tables but I got the impression had it been full I’d have got the same amazing friendly service I experienced. I didn’t get the owner’s name, but he was great, as was the younger server.

I had the salmorejo (which is the first I had) which was excellent, followed by the squid a la plancha. They’d warned me there was a lot of squid coming and they weren’t lying. Just about got through it all as it was very tasty. Nicely presented and cooked perfectly. Only complaint was that it was a little over-salted for my taste, but not enough to ruin it.

Tried to go back with the whole family the day after but they were fully booked and had to eat around the corner. The owner seemed genuinely sorry and upset that he couldn’t serve us which I thought was...

We speak very little Spanish so the server spoke English which was very nice of him. The point of all this was the food and the food was a 10/10. We loved it all - Salmorejo, tuna and tomato salad, grilled Iberian pork& artichoke with ham. I will dreaming of this meal for...

The restaurant we had planned to go to was closed, so we turned to google maps to find an alternative. We were pleasantly surprised and happy with the choice. A small, unassuming place filled with locals. Wonderful fresh fish and seafood. We tried the cockles which were delicious and several other tapas: tortilla, lomo and the gambas a la plancha. Would definitely recommend the restaurant. It was a nice to be away from the heavily touristed area and we enjoyed the well...
